I am a single (44 years old) mother of a 22 year old daughter. She is Princessrugrat on here.

I have a deep love for cemeteries. I love the art, the history, and the untold stories about each resident. I find it peaceful and thoroughly relaxing to walk through cemeteries. I'm working on several but the main one at the moment is Oak Grove Cemetery in Conway, Faulkner County, Arkansas.

I am a member of the organization called Preservation of African American Cemeteries (PAAC).

I was born and raised here in Arkansas as were both of my parents and all of my grandparents.I started searching my genealogy in the Sixth Grade as a project and haven't stopped since.

RE: Capt. James Holben FamilyNP Libby. Rita is my first cousin and we talk all the time via FB. I was just responding to your request for more info on Capt. James Holben family. ...just trying to help out. Have a Great Day and take care.

Capt. James Holben FamilyHello Libby, I am James Robert Holben, the son of Abner Brady Holben, the son of Moses Liberty Holben, the son of Capt. James Holben. I am the first cousin of Rita Holben Yancy as her father, Roy Scott Holben is a brother to my father. I also have been searching our family tree and had ran into a dead end with Capt. James Holben as the only thing we knew was he immigrated to the U.S. at the age of three and was from England. A few years ago, I was contacted by a Lynda Richardson from England who was researching her family tree and had traced to Moses L., and contacted me, via ancestry website. We communicated back and forth for some time and confirmed we are indeed related by common ancestors. Her access to the information in England was invaluable! I am copying both the link to my ancestory.com family tree, and Lynda's email to me with the link to her family tree. I think you will find her's very enlightening concerning Capt. James Holben ancestors. Lynda's email___ My name is Lynda Richardson ( maiden name Holborn )& I've been following up my Great Uncle's research on our family tree. My Gt gt gt gt Grandfather came from Terrington St Clements in Norfolk , & i think we might have a few ancestors in common , going back to 1553 ! Here's a link to my tree , please contact me if you'd like any more information .http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/9395273/family?cfpid=6082948362Here is the link to my tree___ http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/3279414/familyI hope this helps. Feel free to contact me anytime Libby. Best Wishes, Jim Holben

You're quite welcome; it's a pleasure to assist. The McCormick plot is near the road so I didn't have to slog through the snow to find it.

As you may know, I uploaded photos to the memorials for Myrtle McCormick and Catherine McCormick. In addition, here are three more burials at that location:John Merryman McCormick: 1911-1987C. Leslie Saunders: 1913-1954Genevieve McCormoick Saunders: 1914-1969

If you want to create memorials, I will upload the photos. Otherwise, I will create memorials eventually.

RE: ID Military in Westlawn-HillcrestThat would be great if you would help us get the word out about the project. We are sure there are many that we miss but want to have as complete a list as possible.
